Calipari, a year from leading the Memphis Tigers to the national title game, is now taking the reigns of the winningest college basketball program of all time. Only, the Wildcats haven't gotten the wiff of a Final Four game in over a decade.

The Wildcats are coming off a season in which they only had 22 wins. That may seem like a lot to the average college basketball team, but does 22 million dollars seem like a lot of money to Bill Gates?

This past season, the Cats failed to make it to the NCAA Tournament under coach Billy Gillispie for the first time since 1991. The Cats then went on to lose to Notre Dame in the NIT Quarterfinals.

Billy Gillispie proved to be as good of a fit at Kentucky as the Green Lantern at a Superhero Convention. Sure he seems like he will be able to save your program, but after a while you realize that his super powers are worthless!

And right about now, Calipari compares to Obi Won Kenobi as Kentucky's only hope succeeding Darth Vader Gillispie.

So congratulations John Calipari on your new job. Enjoy your doughnut, but when you wake up tomorrow, you have as much work to do for Kentucky Basketball as Barack Obama has to do for our economy. Best of luck...

if he can bring wall and cousins with him he really wont have that much work to do at all. the starting 5 would consist of all future nba players (meeks, patterson, orton, #1 rated recruit in the country wall, and #2 rated cousins)

orton COULD be a push but the other 4 are no brainers.

automatic top 5 team next season no doubt. uk's well documented main problem this past season (well, besides billy g) was poor point guard play. put wall on last years team and i guarantee uk wins the sec and makes the tourney easily. put him on next years, the sky is the limit.

so austin, while i did enjoy your post, i do not agree with the obama/economy comment.

What The Heck Is 'Korked Bats'?

Literally:In one word, korked bats are a misspelled rendition of something that is illegal. People cork the inside of their bats to make the ball travel further upon contact.

To Us: In just over one word, Korked Bats is the correctly spelled title of a blog that is so good it ought to be illegal. Korked Bats is a blog dedicated to not only sports, but to help bring out the comedic side of sports.
